AK Tube LLC

AK Tube, a subsidiary of AK Steel Holding Corporation, is dedicated to being the leader in safely producing superior products with pride and integrity. We are committed to increased profitability through mutually beneficial relationships with our employees, customers and suppliers.

With locations in Columbus, Indiana, Walbridge, Ohio and Queretero, Mexico, we are strategically positioned to meet the needs of our customers. We have been manufacturing Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) tubing for nearly 35 years, and some of our key employees have been with us since the beginning. Our skilled tube mill operators have many years of experience which gives them insight and expertise to solve even the most complex tubing challenges. We are a leader in Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) tubular production. Our new product development team works with our customers to find solutions in light weighting and increasing strength.

Our quality assurance program is among the most rigorous in the industry. We take great pride in meeting and exceeding our customer’s exacting standards for quality, delivery and technical support. We monitor the quality with non-destructive testing utilizing flux leakage, and conduct destructive testing several times a coil, a rate which exceeds ASTM destructive standards and is more than twice the industry average. Our commitment to quality has earned us ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004, OHSAS 18001:2007 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certifications. We will become certified to IATF 16949 in 2018. We have a robust CAR 8D problem analysis and resolution program along with 5-why analysis to meet our customers’ requirements.
